CHIFFON CAKE (Kue Pandan)

This coming Friday you guys (04/17/2009), Yok and I are going to be busy in our kitchen starting at 5 PM.   Other than making beef steak and other dinner stuff, we are also planning to bake this cake.  Promise, not too sweet and not too oily! Those who are dieting are guaranteed to not gain weight because of this very light cake. If you do, it's probably the steak not this cake. :P

And because we love Darrin so much, there is no milk OR butter in this cake!!  Woohoo... finally Darrin get to eat some dessert.

We even want to make vietnamese spring roll if we have enough time.  So, come and join us! 

Love, 

Egid

 Description:

 Some of my Indonesian friends asked me the pandan chiffon cake recipe. As I posted these recipes they can try to make them.

 Ingredients:

 2 cups all purpose flour

1 1/2 cups sugar

3 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup cold water (we can replace with coconut milk)

1/2 cup oil

7 egg yolks

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

4 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel (we can replace with 1/2 teaspoon pandan essence or 1 teaspoon pandan flavored paste with green coloring food).

7 egg whites

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

 Directions:

Heat oven 325F. In large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add water, oil, egg yolks and vanilla. Beat on low speed until moistened; beat on high speed 5 minutes or until very smooth, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.

Fold in lemon peel. Transfer to another large bowl.

Thoroughly wash mixing bowl and beaters.

In large mixing bowl beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form about 3 minutes. Gradually add egg yolk mixture to egg whites, folding gently to combine. Pour into ungreased 10 inch tube pan.

Bake at 325 ' F for 60 to 75 minutes or until top spring back when lightly touched. Immediately invert cake onto funnel or soft drink bottle (turn it up site down); let hang until completely cool.

To remove cake from pan, run edge of knife around outer edge of pan and tube.

Remove cooled cake from pan. Glaze with lemon glaze if desired. For pandan cake no lemon glazed.
